The Allegrini family has been making wine in the Veneto since the 16th century. It rather understates things to say that the Allegrinis know what they’re about, but they do, and today the family produces almost one million bottles of tip-top quality vino a year.
And although the Allegrinis now make wine in Tuscany and Montalcino as well, it is in Valpolicella that they made their name and where their hearts beat strongest. Their wines are truly fine – the equivalent of top cru classé claret – and are beloved by critics as diverse as Robert Parker, Jancis Robinson and the Wine Gang. If your only exposure to the wines of Valpolicella hitherto is the standard fare in your local trat, then, my goodness, you’ve a treat in store!
The Wine Company are offering us five of the Allegrini range here at remarkably generous, one-off, once-they’re-gone-they’re-gone prices.
